In a BBC online chat in 2001, JKR was asked whether any of the 
Hogwarts professors 'had been married'.  She replied that a number 
had, but that the information 'was sort of restricted' for reasons 
we would find out.  As far as I am aware, we've not been given any 
information about who is (or was) married, or why that information 
might not be public knowledge.  There have been suggestions on this 
board that there was a relationship/marriage between DD and Madam 
Pomfrey, though if that supposition is correct I can not see any 
reason to have concealed it.    I suppose another possibility is 
that Madam Pince is not Snape's mother, but his wife, but mother 
seems to fit in best with the canon so far.
